sqlitebiter
sqlitebiter is a CLI tool to convert CSV / Excel / HTML / JSON / Jupyter Notebook / LDJSON / LTSV / Markdown / SQLite / SSV / TSV / Google-Sheets to a SQLite database file.
- Create a SQLite database file from:
- File(s):
- CSV / Tab separated values (TSV) / Space separated values (SSV)
- Microsoft Excel TM
- HTML
- JSON
- Jupyter Notebook
- Labeled Tab-separated Values (LTSV)
- Line-delimited JSON(LDJSON) / NDJSON / JSON Lines
- Markdown
- Mediawiki
- SQLite
- Google Sheets
- URL (scrape tabular data from web pages)
- Multi-byte character support
- Automatic file encoding detection
Following is an example that converts HTML table tags within a web page to SQLite tables by the web page URL.
Example: | $ sqlitebiter url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls"
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html1' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html2' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html3' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html4' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html5' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html6' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html7' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html8' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html9' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html10' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: convert 'Comparison_of_firewalls' to 'Comparison_of_firewalls_Wikipedia_html11' table
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: converted results: source=1, success=11, created-table=11
[INFO] sqlitebiter url: database path: out.sqlite |
---|---|

The attributes within the converted SQLite database may include symbols as the above.
Symbols within attributes can be replaced by using --replace-symbol
option.
In the following example shows replace symbols to underscores.
Example: | $ sqlitebiter --replace-symbol _ -q url "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_firewalls" |

Output: | $ sqlite3 out.sqlite .schema

A data format is a mandatory argument for sqlitebiter stdin subcommand
:
Example: | $ echo '[{"hoge": 4, "foo": "abc"}, {"hoge": 12, "foo": "xyz"}]' | sqlitebiter stdin json
[INFO] convert 'stdin' to 'json1' table
[INFO] converted results: source=1, success=1, created-table=1
[INFO] database path: out.sqlite |

Usage: sqlitebiter [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... Options: --version Show the version and exit. -o, --output-path PATH Output path of the SQLite database file. Defaults to 'out.sqlite'. -a, --append Append table(s) to existing database. --add-primary-key PRIMARY_KEY_NAME Add 'PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT' column with the specified name. --convert-config TEXT [experimental] Configurations for data conversion. The option can be used only for url subcommand. -i, --index INDEX_ATTR Comma separated attribute names to create indices. --no-type-inference All of the columns assume as TEXT data type in creating tables. --type-hint-header Use headers suffix as type hints. If there are type hints, converting columns by datatype corresponding with type hints. The following suffixes can be recognized as type hints (case insensitive): "text": TEXT datatype. "integer": INTEGER datatype. "real": REAL datatype. --replace-symbol TEXT Replace symbols in attributes. -v, --verbose --max-workers WORKERS Specify maximum number of workers that the command may use. defaults to 1. --debug For debug print. -q, --quiet Suppress execution log messages. -h, --help Show this message and exit.
